A Note from RANWW Treasurer
REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in D.C.
I just got back from the D.C. Legislative meetings and Trade Expo. This
is my second year and it is such a busy and exciting time. The confer-
ence runs Monday thru Friday with a variety of meetings and education-
al opportunities.
Ron Insana from CNBC spoke to us the first morning and Chris Wallace
from Fox News was our guest speaker the second. They both gave very
good insights on the economy and the current administration. Dr. Law-
rence Yun, NAR’S Chief Economist also spoke regarding his thoughts
on the next 5 years in real estate. The market is looking good with low
inventory in several markets.
On Wednesday, about 30 Wisconsin Realtors® met with Congressman
Sean Duffy, 7th
District, to discuss tax reform and other important issues
pertinent to our industry. Mr. Duffy was impressed with the large crowd
of Realtors® we could squeeze into his office.
But one of my favorite meetings that I attended was the medium size
Board Forum. In this forum, you get together with brokers/owners/
REALTORS® throughout the country and discuss a variety of current
issues in the real estate market and how everyone’s board handles each
issue. This is just a great learning experience and it’s interesting to
know that we all are facing the same issues throughout the country.
The Trade Expo, which runs all day, is always interesting because it
gives you the opportunity to meet with lockbox and software represent-
atives along with getting great closing gifts ideas.
If you get the opportunity, you should try to attend this great confer-
ence. Next year it’s May 14-19, 2018 in D.C. of
course!

RANWW GAD Intern, Jordan Mabin & fellow UWEC Political Science student
Spend an evening preparing Eau Claire County 4-H Youth delegates for their upcoming trip to Washington D.C. The youth will spend a week in D.C. learning how to prepare, present and lobby a bill before their leg-islators. RANWW is proud to prepare the 4-H Youth delegates in ad-vance of this important learning experience.
WRA Legislative Alert: The WRA Seeks to Maintain Historic Preservation Tax Credits.
The 2017-19 state budget bill proposes changes to the historic rehabilitation tax credit (HTC) program, includ-
ing a $10 million cap on credits, a competitive grant process and a clawback provision. These proposals
would have a crippling effect on one of Wisconsin’s most successful economic development programs. The
WRA opposes these proposed changes to the HTC program.
What's in play
Proposal: The WRA will work with legislators and allies to maintain the current HTC
program and defeat this proposal.
Background
In 2014, the HTC generated $277.7 million in private investments, created 2,185
new jobs, provided $22 million in state income, sales and payroll tax revenues, and $2.11 million in annual local property tax revenues.
The low $10 million cap on total credits available, the unnecessary competitive grant process, and the
clawback provision would mean fewer jobs, make smaller projects ineligible, and make financing for many projects difficult.
The HTC program is a low-risk program where tax credits are awarded only after the project is finished.
Bill status Currently in committee review.
The WRA engages in advocacy on behalf of REALTORS® and property owners through a variety of programs including the REALTORS® Political Action Committee and the Wisconsin Homeowners Alliance.

The RANWW Foundation has been BUSY!!!!! The RANWW Foundation board met in early May to award spring grants. We had a total of eight (8) grants
submitted; four (4) grants were approved and four (4) grants were denied. The four (4) grants approved
had a total funding amount of $6,587.00!!!
One grant in particular stood out, this grant was submitted by a REALTOR® (Tammy Koenig) and helped a
VERY, VERY grateful Fall Creek residence! Through no fault of her own her house was filling up with raw
sewage from the village. The price tag to fix this issue was $6,000.00 and a three step process. She com-
pleted step #1 and paid $2,000.00 of her savings to complete it. Step’s #2 & #3 were a total of $4,000.00
and had to be completed to keep the sewage from filling her basement. She had a limited income and was
looking at putting the remainder of the bill on a credit card…..not a good solution for someone on a limited/
fixed income. Tammy was able to submit a grant request on her behalf and the Foundation directors ap-
proved the entire request! The work was completed in a matter of days and her home is no longer invaded
with unwanted sewage.
Thank you for continuing to support the RANWW Foundation...It truly does matter!
Remember you too can make a difference in someone’s life by submitting an application on their behalf.

RANWW Foundation Assisting in Disaster Relief!!
On May 16th, 2017 disaster hit the northern areas of our association in the form of a tornado. Many, many, many
families were displaced in a matter of seconds, nothing remained of their homes and almost all personal belongings
were destroyed. Thankfully the death and injury toll were very low but even the loss of one life was too many.
RANWW Foundation directors reacted immediately by approving $7,000.00 to aid seven (7) families in emergency
housing assistance. Although this is a drop in the bucket it was an amazing gift for those seven (7) families; it allowed
them immediate housing during a time when chaos ruled. A HUGE thank you to our directors for reacting at a mo-
ments notice….RANWW Foundation it does make a difference!
